Dedication Ceremony & Ribbon Cutting for Nassau County Fire Rescue Station 70

On Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 11:30 a.m., a Dedication Ceremony and Ribbon Cutting will be held in celebration of the grand opening of Nassau County Fire Rescue Station 70, located at 942456 Old Nassauville Road, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034.

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) hosted a groundbreaking ceremony on February 12, 2024, and Nassau County Fire Rescue (NCFR) personnel officially began working out of the station on Friday, July 25, 2025. This new modern facility consists of 8,453 square feet and features three bays with an engine, rescue unit, and tanker. To allow crews to remain ready 24/7, Station 70 contains 11 sleeping quarters, four and a half bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and an exercise room.

Station 70 will be the second NCFR station to open in 2025 and further signifies the BOCC’s commitment to enhancing public safety and providing new, modern facilities for the brave men and women serving the community. Station 90 in Hilliard is also currently under construction and is anticipated to open before the end of 2025. The new Station 90 will replace the current facility on County Road 2.

Nassau County Chairman Huppmann stated, “The new station 70 provides our emergency personnel with a state-of-the-art facility and ensures a superb level of fire and emergency medical services to our citizens for decades to come. This investment not only strengthens our ability to respond quickly in times of crisis, it also reflects our deep commitment to protecting lives and property. By placing modern resources where they are most needed, we are enhancing safety and providing our first responders with the tools and environment they need to serve our growing community with excellence.”

The public is invited to attend the Dedication Ceremony, which will include messages from your Elected Officials, the Fire Chief, a ribbon cutting, and a brief tour of the station. The County looks forward to seeing you there!
